Huh? Are they all real?

After the banquet.

But Aier couldn't go back to rest with relief.

Because she still needs to deal with official duties that have accumulated for the day.

Thinking about the official documents that had been piled up on the table during the day, Aier couldn't help but think:

‘Has Moen really handled so many things on his own before? How did he do it? ’

Aier walked to the study and asked the clerks and nobles next to him:

"There shouldn't be too many official documents to deal with today, right?"

"It's a pity, Grand Duke, today there are about 10% or 20% more than before."

After hearing this desperate answer, Aier walked into the study with despair.

Seeing Aier who was really serious about handling the official documents, the nobles and clerks at the door all sighed:

"At the banquet just now, I even felt that the old master was back."

"Really? I just heard it, but does the Duke really look like the old Duke?"

"More than just a resemblance, the Duke just now is really exactly the same as the old master. They are both noble and great that makes people speechless."

"It's the kind of charm that just by looking at it, I know I have to follow this person!"

Having said this, the noble looked at the study and said:

"But this is the only thing that is different from the old master."

The clerks all nodded.

"Yes, the old Duke always leaves official business to others."

"That's a good thing."

"Good thing!"

Clerks and nobles were in full agreement.

The old Duke's unquestioning attitude in employing people is really exciting beyond words, but from the perspective of a retainer, it is better for the Lord to take all important matters into his own hands.

——

In the study, Aier was planning to fight with today's official document, but she discovered that the entire study had undergone subtle changes.

For example, the desk that was once purely black can now be seen with a few subtle dark blue textures under the light, as if there is an unknown story hidden there.

The original sky blue curtains now seem to have a few wisps of lavender threads intertwined in them, adding a touch of mystery to the entire space.

After touching his intact bracelet, Aier subconsciously put his hand under the desk.

She wants to call her vassals.

But not before she called her vassals.

An old man appeared opposite her:

"Child, don't worry, how could anyone want to harm their own offspring?"

Looking at the sudden appearance of the old man, Aier put his hand on his bracelet and raised his eyebrows and said:

"Isn't it too suspicious for someone who came uninvited to say these things?"

The old man originally just smiled indifferently, but when he smiled, he became stunned.

Because he found that the other party really didn't recognize who he was, rather than saying so on purpose.

He glanced at the portrait hanging beside the study in disbelief.

Obviously both himself and Trajan are hanging on it!

After being stunned for a moment, even the first Duke who established the Westeros family was a little confused and pointed to the side and said:

"Kid, do you want to see if I look like that guy on the wall?"

Aier sneered directly:

"Are you going to say that a guy like you, who is seventy or eighty years old, can be my father Trajan? 伱"

As he spoke, Aier finally reacted and looked at the wall next to him with a guilty conscience.

The old Duke, who noticed her eyes moving back and forth, smiled and said:

"You know it now, kid."

"You, no, are you?"

The old Duke nodded kindly and said:

"There is no doubt, child, that I am the first head of the Westeros family, Contus Westeros."

"My child, I am glad that today after so many years, I can still see such an excellent heir like you, and Trajan who simply leaves me speechless."

When saying this, the old Duke was carefully observing the other party's reaction with smiles in his eyes.

There is only one chance.

The shock of the ancestor's appearance will definitely surprise you.

Sure enough, after hearing her ambiguous words, an interesting look flashed in the girl's eyes.

This discovery made the old duke make an immediate judgment.

"Son, I'm here to tell you something big, something very, very important."

"What do you mean?"

Aier couldn't help but straighten his body.

The old Duke said seriously every word:

"Something big is going to happen in this country. Terrible careerists are lurking in the empire. They will threaten the empire and even the southern border."

Does he know what happened?

Hope rose in El's heart.

This reaction was well captured by the old Duke.

She must know something.

"I was once one of them, but now, after seeing you, I finally made up my mind that as a member of Westeros, I must stand up to protect my blood and my children."

Aier sat upright more and more, and the old Duke, who felt it was time, also said to Aier at this time:

"Tell Trajan that there is an enemy who has been hiding for many years and wants to overturn everything today."

Does he know Morne is still alive? !

A trace of surprise flashed in Aier's eyes, which directly told the old Duke the answer.

Countless surprises and fears also flashed through the old Duke's heart.

Actually still alive? !

So, those strange behaviors, are they what he did to make us think he was dead?

Thinking of this, the old duke immediately said:

"Child, I have to go, their eyes are always on me, I can't say too much, and I can't leave for too long."

"But please tell your father what I said. And, don't make it public, otherwise everything will be over!"

After saying these words, the old duke left here without caring about anything.

Only the stunned El was left there.

——

On the streets of Khazad-dum late at night, the old duke, who did not immediately return to the imperial capital, was walking slowly.

Trajan is still alive, so his death would not be for some stupid ancient oath.

Is he waiting for us to jump out?

But that's not right, he has already given the sequence one potion to the little girl Ansha.

In this case, why is he hiding it?

Is the last sequence one potion in his hands?

It's still not right. If it's in Trajan's hands, then what's the situation with the emperor? Didn't he say that the conditions were met and all he had to do was offer the queen as a sacrifice?

And he obviously didn't know Trajan was alive!

The lack of intelligence made the old duke feel the pain and helplessness of Morn in the same situation.

But after a moment, the old duke laughed again.

But no matter what, he made two plans.

Trajan's advantage is that he is a poor old man hiding in the enemy camp who cares about his family.

When Trajan succeeds in his counterattack after years of planning and ascends to the throne, there will definitely be a place for him in front of the jade throne of the new dynasty.

The emperor's advantage is that he is an old comrade who has been loyal for thousands of years.

When the emperor sweeps away everything and ascends to the throne, he will be one of the angels serving the emperor.

No matter what, I will not lose!

After laughing, the old duke looked around and said to the surroundings:

"Trajan, right? Come out, I know you are here, child."

This was originally just a precautionary operation for the old duke. After all, after hearing those words, the girl might have found Trajan.

In this way, Trajan might find him without knowing it.

But what caught the old man off guard was.

After he said this.

A young man in a heavy windbreaker really stood in front of him and asked with a strange look:

"So, who are you?"
